Prospects over the next 3 years

The employment outlook will be moderate for Retail sales supervisors (NOC 62010) in New Brunswick for the 2023-2025 period.

The following factors contributed to this outlook:

• Employment decline will lead to the loss of some positions.
• Not many positions will become available due to retirements.
• There are a small number of unemployed workers with recent experience in this occupation.

• While more education will likely improve someone’s chance of becoming a retail sales supervisor, educational requirements are relatively low compared to other occupations. In fact, many workers start at an entry-level position before eventually becoming supervisors. Attrition and the typical high degree of turnover have both been identified as drivers of demand, with the former expected to become more important as the workforce continues to age. This will create opportunities for back-filling and for outside hiring.
• Given that retail outlets are more heavily concentrated in larger cities, more opportunities are likely to be available in larger urban areas such as Moncton, Fredericton and Saint John. A rise in online retail may shift the responsibilities of this occupation.
